Home is Everything!
As a lifelong resident of Greater Vancouver's charming suburb of Coquitlam, I am deeply rooted in this community. Born and raised here, I have chosen Coquitlam as my "Home" to raise my family, with all five of my children proudly educated through our excellent local school system.
Since 1997, I have had the pleasure of working as a full-time Realtor, passionately showcasing unique qualities that make the Lower Mainland such a wonderful place to live. With nearly three decades of experience, my business has thrived predominantly through referrals from satisfied clients and friends, leading various community initiatives, and my short-term rental business. Additionally, my expertise in Internet marketing has allowed me to reach a broader audience, helping even more people discover the beauty of our communities.
My commitment to this area extends beyond real estate. I love engaging in the community as much as I love showcasing it! Aside from helping people find their dream homes, you can find me at a pottery wheel in Port Moody, gardening with the Coquitlam River Community Gardens, kayaking local waterways, travelling to exciting destinations, or spending quality time with my family.
With a strong foundation in customer-oriented work ethics, leadership and marketing skills, and location expertise, I offer knowledgeable and friendly service in all aspects of buying and selling residential real estate and investment properties. While I serve the entire Lower Mainland, my primary focus is on the neighbourhoods of Coquitlam, Port Moody, Port Coquitlam, and the bordering areas of Pitt Meadows, Maple Ridge, New Westminster, and Burnaby. If you are considering buying or selling outside the Lower Mainland, I am connected to a vast network of professionals locally and globally. I am happy to connect you with a Realtor who will meet your needs and ensure a seamless experience.
I love engaging with various individuals and learning their stories the same way I love homes and their uniqueness. My passion lies in helping people understand and enjoy the process of home buying and selling, attentively listening to their needs, and providing professional service to match clients and their life goals with the perfect future home. I specialize in educating and assisting first-time home buyers, guiding people through upsizing or downsizing, handling purchases and sales of investment and vacation properties, and supporting families with senior loved ones transitioning into comfortable and suitable new homes. With a Senior Real Estate Specialist (SRES) designation, I work compassionately and efficiently to make challenging transitions easier for everyone involved. My goal is to ensure that every move is a positive and rewarding experience.
I am blessed to have a career doing what I love: helping people attain the warmth and peace of mind that accompanies finding "Home" in this beautiful part of the world.
Home is Everything.

"Thanks so much for your hard work to sell our home. What struck us most was that you consistently responded to all our requests in a very pleasant manner and came up with great ideas to solve any problems we had. You were never shy about suggesting ways to move our sale forward without ever making us feel your were pushy. From start to finish you displayed a professional yet friendly attitude and followed through on our behalf to protect our interests. We would recommend you to anyone wanting to sell their home or property and will certainly call you to sell our next home."
-Rod & Rosemary, Client
"I want to thank you for all the hard work in helping us find a home for our son and his fiancée. The two of them are ecstatic with the new home and are now in a position to move on with their new lives in the big city. Most importantly, your thoroughness and attention to detail was instrumental in helping us understand the melee of information from the vendor and developer. I have no idea how Annette and I would have coped without your professionalism and most of all your patience. We will be highly recommending your services to anyone we know that is looking to either buy a home or sell their home in the Vancouver region."

"Cory O'Brien has been our realtor for two sales and 1 purchase in the past 5 years. She is a true professional with real style! Cory stays up-to-date on the sales and trends in the market and pays close attention to detail. Everything went smoothly from the listing right through to and after the sale. Cory was always available for consultation, even when out of town. In addition, Cory is a pleasure to work with, always upbeat with a great sense of humour. If you want the job done right, Cory is the right real estate agent!"
